I'm Lead and near the other end with four players.
Under a minute in first half.
White is being moderately pressured; White got the ball in and the pressure backed off. White spotted W54 just over midcourt, in the front court, and threw the ball to her. W54 lifted one foot, with her other foot remaining in the front court, cleanly caught the pass and stepped onto the backcourt in front of my partner. No call. I wasn't fishing in that pond.
At half-time intermission, I asked about the play.
Partner said, "Yeah, I saw it." I asked ,"Why didn't you call the Over-and-back?"
Answer: "...uh, all three-points weren't over yet."
Question: "But that only applies to the dribbler, doesn't it?"
Answer: "...er, but the ball never gained the front court."
